This is a February when you are entering into a new phase, Pisces, with your astrological factors in motion. Extra information coming to you from unusual sources – arriving from the deep soul side of your evolving psyche – is helpful as you gain in awareness and growth. The recent New Moon in Aquarius that defines the thirty-day lunation cycle for the current month was also kicked off by a dramatic triple conjunction between Venus, the North Lunar Node, and your ruling planet, Neptune, all located in the final degrees of your sign. This amazing aspect perfects on the 1st. This links your sectors of identity and communication, describing mental curiosity and extreme learning within you while internal depth research and your communicative outreach are also key. Meanwhile and quite significantly as well, the Aquarius sign in your solar chart is associated with unconscious process and inner work to get you to a more integrated approach to what’s happening beneath your surface layers. Jupiter in your sector of home and family is also highlighted this month – another indication of emotional intelligence from below – along with familial dynamics and issues of family of origin. When the Leo Full Moon lands, on February 12th, there is an additional emphasis from planet Uranus implying that your intuitive sense of things can arise almost unbidden and tell you true, provided that you are willing to allow this.

You meet February in the early days of an Aquarius lunation cycle in your sector of the unconscious, spirituality, inner work, and hidden matters, lasting almost all through the month of February. A Mercury-Pluto conjunction in this New Moon indicates that your thoughts might be drawn inward this month — whether you’re deep in self-analysis, sitting with complicated emotions, or processing undigested pain, retreating to rest and recenter yourself is valuable. A trine from the New Moon to Jupiter, your ruling planet, broadens your sight to developments within your realms of home and family, which may lift your mindset or offer an outlet for conferring with others. With Pluto now firmly in Aquarius, this New Moon marks a departure point, with seeds leading to the future beginning to sprout deep within your psyche.
A triple conjunction between Venus, Neptune, and the Lunar North Node taking place in your sign in the New Moon and perfecting the first weekend in February calls you to merge intellect with intuition, drawing you into a creative process unfolding within your identity sector. This may bring a sense of hope or inspiration — encouraging you to immerse yourself in nature and soul-nourishing pursuits. With the Lunar Nodes having shifted onto the Virgo-Pisces axis, your self-image, character, and physical constitution are the focus of an important new chapter of development, set in motion by the eclipses of a demanding year. The extended Neptune-North Node conjunction, alongside themes of healing and emotional breakthrough, may amplify your uncertainties of being in a transitional period.

A month-long square between Chiron in Aries and Mars in Cancer could add additional tension to matters in your financial sector, or around self-worth and stability. With Mars retrograde in your self-expression, sector, challenges related to children, creativity, or romantic connections could bring deeper vulnerabilities to the surface. With Chiron being in Aries, healing may come through action — encouraging you to override self-protective mechanisms to engage your inner wounding, free up your abilities, and invest in your passions.
On February 4th, Jupiter stations direct in Gemini, or your sector of home, family, and property, which may draw greater focus in this radical first week of February. This shift could herald revived momentum or greater focus on learning and connection within your living environment and domestic relationships.
On the 8th and 9th, a Mercury- Sun conjunction in Aquarius strikes a match within your hidden realms, where messages could surface through dreams or intuition. An applying square to Uranus in Taurus bridges your unconscious with conscious awareness, suggesting new information, writing, or conversations which may act as channels for catharsis, together with unexpected insights or startling intuitive revelations.
The Full Moon in Leo lands on February 12th, illuminating your sector of daily work, habits, and health, and seeking the connection there with your current focus on your subconscious patterns and inner well-being. With Sun and Moon forming an activating T-square to Uranus in your sphere of the mind and communication, there could be surprising information coming your way or unexpected revelations. This Full Moon could also highlight the tension between being complacent, then recognizing a pattern and finally breaking free from it. Shifts in perspective, mental health considerations, or learning pursuits could compel changes that support your happiness and health. This Full Moon speaks to your emotional and embodied needs, perhaps revealing where joy, purpose, and alignment are present — or missing — within your routines and responsibilities, and thus highlighting what needs to be nurtured or redefined. When things are getting to feel urgent, stepping away from the digital noise to ground and engage in activities that bring you back to your heart could be key.
Mercury enters your sign of Pisces on the 14th, closely followed by the Sun on the 18th as you enter your solar return month, where a buildup of planets gathers affecting your sense of selfhood.
On the 23rd, Mars stations direct in Cancer, where it has been conducting a process of review in your sphere of self-expression and joy. Challenges or energy directed toward creativity, children, or matters of sexuality may peak in the weeks surrounding this station, potentially heightening emotional reactivity. Mars forming a trine to Mercury in your sign may encourage you to articulate your desires or explore new channels to express your vital energy, resourced with data from your hidden realms, and deepening inner awareness.
On February 24th and 25th, a Mercury-Saturn conjunction in your sign may bring focus to heavier existential questions or burdens you’re carrying. However, it offers the brains and discipline to bring structure to your unfolding dreams, while a separating trine to Mars suggests children or your personal passions could energize these considerations.
The New Moon in your sign on February 27th opens a fresh cycle associated with your identity sector, where your psychology, self-image, and purpose are fertile ground for the unfolding story of March. With this New Moon squaring Jupiter, its ruler, tensions between your trajectory and the influence of family, origins, or home may be highlighted, encouraging you to explore your individual purpose and self-definition. While what’s ahead is still taking shape, Saturn’s lingering link to Mercury suggests you already know what no longer serves you, thereby urging release of old identities and attachments to enable you to better meet yourself in the present.
